ABC aerial Cable are overhead power lines using several insulated phase conductors
bundled tightly together, usually with a bare neutral conductor. They can improves safety and reliance of electrified wire netting.

a Duplex Service DropApplications:To supply 120 volt aerial service for temporary
service at construction sites,outdoor or street lighting . For
service at 600 volts or lower at a conductor temperature of 75
maximum.

b Triplex Service DropApplications: To supply power from the ulility`s lines to the
consumer`s weatherhead. For service at 600 volts or less(phase to
phase ) at a conductor temperature of 75 maximum for PE insulation
or 90 maximum for XLPE insulation .

c Quadruplex Service DropApplications: Used to supply 3 phase power , usually from a
pole-mounted transformer to the use`s servic head where connection
to the service entance cable is made . To be used at voltages of
600 volts or less phase to phase and at conductor temperature not
to exceed 75 for PE insulated conductors or 90 for XLPE insulated
conductors.
